So it's this time of the week, a beautiful time, a wonderful time; gather round lads and lasses, and let us remember, remember what happened. Actually, I'll remember, you kids shut up.

Classic Skin
Shadow, also known as toocutetobereal, has been working non-stop since the switch to phpBB, and has since then produced a wonderful "old school" forum style: the classic skin.
It's like SMF, except it's phpBB3! :shadow:
BBMania!!!!
Your diligent staff team has once again surpassed itself by adding the most excellent phpBB3 modification; that is, GeSHi powered source code syntax highlighting. Script authors are now encouraged to use the rgss or code=rgss tags to embed the scripts or snippets.
RPG Maker
The most excellent Dadevster has started a new project: Pass It On!, a community project which, although directed by the aforementioned surreptitious youth, will be a product and a reflection of our community, both in terms of technical prowess and soul. So get a'cracking!
As well, there's a new project in town, girls and boys, and there's only room enough for one of its kind; it's a remake of the wonderful novella The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, by H.P. Lovercraft, named accordingly. The project looks promising from the screens, although I have a hard time imagining how a tale of mostly psychological (or, as big H would say, "cosmological") horror will be properly rendered as a game...but, who knows?
And, last but certainly not least, there is a new completed - yes, you heard me well - game! hellbound's jaw dropping Memories of Gaia looks somewhat cliché at first, but remember kids: never judge a book by its cover. It's a short game, so be sure to give it a try.
Arts, Tools & Misc.
Music
Although somewhat old, this topic has yet to have been featured in a "This Week" proper, and moog has threatened to..."examine my prostate"...if I didn't mention it (not that I'd mind!!!!). Daryus has posted a set of royalty-free (I believe) songs here, which are, from the comments of a few users (notably Cruelty), jawesome. So if you'd been looking for a few choice songs to plug into your project, give it a look (or an ear)!
Graphics
Another great topic that hasn't gotten the attention it deserves: munk3yboy's art repo, an amazing collection (plus a short pseudo-tutorial!) of animated and non-animated pieces by the aforementioned monkey.
Literature
Mundane's been putting up a few choice pieces from his upcoming sci-fi novel, Obsidian; now, I haven't read any of it, but apparently it's quite good. Worth a shot, I guess? @Surmuck: That's what you get for not telling me what to put up
uch:
Applications
The one and only (French, might I add, which is definitely a plus) King Kadelfek is back with a compilation of his upcoming projects, which notably include: a 3D graphics engine, a physics simulator, and the DMK Megazord (seriously...?). Be sure to give it a look.
Community
Well, nothing seems to be happening, but I think it's mostly because no one bothers to tell me anything anymore. Stay in school kids.
That's it for this week. So keep working on your contests and keep shitposting! For all of you kids with finals and whatnot, remember: do you want to become a lousy janitor (unless your uncle owns a store)?
